The Union Health Minister, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, dedicated three CGHS Wellness Centers in Alaknanda, Rohini Sector -16, Vasant Vihar to the nation, serving 44 lakh beneficiaries across 80 cities.
Central Government Health Scheme is a health scheme for serving retired central government employees and their families.
The inauguration of a robotic unit at the National Institute of TB and Respiratory Diseases was also done to provide better surgical care to patients suffering from tuberculosis.
The Health Ministry also revised the package rates of CGHS packages in the empaneled private hospitals.
This will, therefore, enable the beneficiaries to access quality healthcare services at affordable rates.
The National Health Authority platform is deployed for this purpose, similar to the one applied for Ayushman Bharat.
Jan Aushadhi medicines will also be provided in these Wellness Centres, not just for the CGHS beneficiaries, but for all the public.
